In this photo, I was…In the Andes in Ecuador, 2005. I was probably about halfway through a really long hike around a volcanic crater. I'm carrying my special dog-scaring stick—you run into wild dogs in Ecuador, but raising the stick and screaming gibberish always scares them off.My most-prized passport stamp is…India, because my sister was married there
The sexiest accent in the world is…Swedish/Scandinavian—but maybe it's not the accent…
My favorite travel-inspiring book is…Typee by Herman Melville

A dangerous wildfire near Big Sur, California, has prompted authorities to evacuate the entire town. Here's hoping this national treasure along Pacific Highway 1 is spared.
